This page provides instructions on one known method to configure a Stratux (ADS-B) receiver to feed CoT information to an OG TAKServer or FreeTAKServer to observe PLI of aircraft within the device's coverage area. The configuration described below is intended for a mobile application to observe surrounding aircraft locations and feed ATAK EUDs on a LAN in LTE-denied areas.
<aside> ✅ The following instructions have been confirmed to work with Raspberry Pi 3B and Pi 4 models.
